How do we manage the file transfers for the signed files and the pictures between the countries? Did you guys use UPS, FEDEX, DHL? Any success or,horror stories with any of those postal services?

Used FedEx from India and it was delivered within 3 days with constant updates. Delighted with their service.

We used DHL for documents from India. Delivered in 4 days (with a weekend in between).

No you can not, and sorry to say that but someone who is eligible just lost a spot to apply.

True

My docs just got delivered to PO Box address in Ottawa. Sent from Toronto by Canada Post yesterday. Receiving signed by SCI SCHLIEBNER. Does it sound familiar to those who have already sent their docs?

Mine also delivered today from toronto and same guy signed for my post also. Cheers

Same here. That's what I have got from Canada Post:

I do see that this item was delivered on Thursday, May 9, 2019, at 9:29:20 am. I see the parcel was for a Large Volume Receiver out for delivery, which means it was delivered to the building or the post office. When a large volume of mail is received by a company/institution, it is grouped into a mail bag or container. The mail is then either delivered by Canada Post to the company’s/institution’s mailroom, or picked up by the company/institution itself directly from a Canada Post facility. It may take a few days for the item to make its way from the mailroom to the addressee and to be opened/recorded as received. Once we pass the item over to their mail room, we are not able to scan as delivered.

Let's keep each other updated on how it rolls. The Canada Post call center guys depend on the same tracking info that we can see online. I am not sure how he told you that "I do see that this item was delivered on Thursday, May 9, 2019, at 9:29:20 am.". Mine told me that he can't say anything for sure as the package hasn't been scanned at delivery. Tracking system still says "pending delivery". I will give it a couple of days, maybe it will get updated.

Hi guys,

My wife is sponsoring her parents.
Her mother's name on the marriage certificate and (wife's) birth certificate don't match the name in the passport, but are very similar:
Example:
Passport name: Dora Rubin
Certificate name: Doria Rubin
Should I:
1. match the translation to English match the passport names
OR
2. include an affidavit that asserts the two names belong to the same person
OR
3. enter Doria Rubin under question "Have you ever used any other name" in form 0008

I am thinking #1 would be the best course of action and would keep the application simple, but wanted to know what other people think.

Thanks!

Folks, need some help. Pardon me if its a repeating question. I am kind of confused about the "Family Size" in Question -14 of form 5768 Financial Evaluation form.
I am sponsoring my parents (Mom and Dad) and we are a couple (me and my wife), no kids.

What would be the family size for each years 2016, 2017, 2018?
Is it 2 (me and wife) or 4 (me, wife+2 persons being sponsored)?

Really appreciate the reply from senior members.

Kinda sad today, my package was supposed to arrive this morning, fedex airplane got late and they missed their deadline.
They are only delivering on Monday
It shouldn't make a big difference (I hope that by delivering by the 3 week, I still get on the early/mid batch), but it's upsetting anyway.
After is about refreshing ECAS everyday until we have a sign that they are starting to check the documentation!
Good luck to everyone

4 for all year and make sure you have minimum income for 4 in 2016,2017,2018

Don't believe that post, you did the right thing by sending only the bio page. They don't care about visas or if you have thousands of travel stamps, that's why you detail your travels in Schedule A

thanks i really hopes it is ok.

 

[zeiesfirdaus]

So they might return the application. It does not make sense.

No they wont return the application! Its abt convenience

Hello there


Many people are saying that all the forms must be signed by black ink, my question is where did you get this info?

I see a note on additional family information form - “ type or print in black” but it related to the info that should be printed in black which is done in black anyway by your printer when you fill out the form.

Nothing says about signatures

Why are you drowning yourself on a cup of water ? Sign in whichever colour you prefer: black or blue. What people are giving here is just general advice for all IRCC processes and past experiences.
For example, nowhere does it say that you shouldn't print double sided, yet there are many cases of people printing double sided and then the agent won't read the verso and request additional documents / mark application as incomplete
In the end, you either take our advice or do whatever you want, no one is forcing you to sign with black or blue.
